Question:
Likewise, may Allah preserve him, he asks and says: Does a Muslim have the right, at the grave of the deceased, to inform him about his own conditions and the conditions of his children?
Answer:
Nothing has been transmitted regarding this. What has been transmitted is that one makes du'a' (supplication) for him, making du'a' for the deceased. The deceased is in need of du'a' and istighfar (seeking forgiveness); he is not in need of news, gossip, and these things. He has no need for them.
